Ā Ā Ā wells leans over in his chair , all the way back , his feet kicked up on top of a desk ( he wasnāt even at his own ) , but he hears bradyās question & heās immediately curious .Ā ā that depends , whatās the current world record ? ā he promptly questions . green eyes on his coworker as he rocks back & forth , foot propped up on the desk ( probably not a great example , but ) .Ā ā i can definitely throw 88 grapes in under a minute , dude .. iāve been practicing this at peter pipers my entire early 20s . ā thatās something a teenager would do , alas , wells had a bit of an odd upbringing . one that never allowed him to stay in one place for too long . he hadnāt even been to a peter pipers until he was 19 .Ā ā how dedicated are you though ? i gotta ask before i dedicate the time & skill to this endeavor - throwing 88 grapes in under a minute , i mean , thatās some focus. ā
brady shook his head.Ā āthe fact that you even gotta askĀ how dedicated i am...ā he shifted a bit where he sat, so he could angle himself to face the other fully.Ā āwhy would i joke about something as serious as grape catching?ā his face was dead serious, despite the obvious tone of their current conversation. he picked up the grapes, cradling the baggie in his hand so he could pop another one in his mouth.Ā ālook. iām not messinā around here. i need someone as in this as i am.ā brady held out the grapes toward wells and raised an eyebrow at him.Ā āwould you please do me a favor and throw a grape at my face?ā
Head rested on the back of her chair and staring up at the exposed ductwork that lined the office ceiling, Ace slowly half spun herself back and forth. Sheād finish all her tasks for the day and was feeling bored. Their team lead was in and out of meetings all day, most of the other team members were out shooting stuff, and the interns were god knows where. (For the record, she couldnāt care less what the interns were up to, but sheād give anything to have something to right now.)Ā She was just about to reach for her phone and start texting random employees in hopes of curing her boredom when she notice small noises coming from Bradyās desk. A smile immediately grew upon the brunetteās face as she discovered she was no longer alone.
āHey Brady. Brady. Brady, do you need any help?ā she asked, trying to stretch herself far enough to see his computer screen, even though she knew that was entirely impossible given the positions of their desks in the office. (Their desktop monitors were setup back-to-back, so itās easy to see how she hadnāt noticed his presence until a couple minutes ago.)Ā Ā āPlease tell me I can help you. Iām dying here.ā

Brady, admittedly, wasnāt doing his best work today. He was messing with something he thoughtĀ heād finished earlier in the dayĀ ā a cooking video, simple enough, and nothing he hadnāt edited before. But coming back from lunch caused him to see it with fresh eyes. Suddenly there were all these imperfections, things that Brady wasnāt totally happy with in the end product and needed to be fixed before he sent it away to be cleared and posted. He clearly wasnāt always on his A game. He let out a heavy sigh just as he heard a familiar voice saying his name, and Brady peeked around the monitor to see Ace there.Ā āHey,ā he greeted her, and then looked back at the screen in front of him.Ā āYāknow... I wouldnāt hate it. Some help, I mean.ā He backed his chair up a little to create space and motioned for her to come over to his side.Ā āI just. I canāt get this right? I dunno.ā He pointed to the video timeline, where he felt like there were too many quick cuts.Ā āI feel like itās too jumpy. Am I overthinking it? Or should I keep toning it down?ā
if anyone bothered to ask, 4pm was deliās favorite time of the work day. it was close enough to clock out time where no one expected shit from him. deli made it known: he is entirely unresponsive by this time and would push any task handed to him, given that it isnāt a shoot, to the following day. fortunately on this particularly day, he had nothing left on his calendar or to-do list.Ā unfortunately, with a swivel of his chair and a sideways trajectory, he was never too far from a particular casualty of his boredom.Ā āaye, brady!ā he tapped the male on the shoulder.Ā āi got a passenger seat open later, destination leoās tacos. we can chill at my place after. you down?ā( ft.Ā @brxdysā )
brady loved when he got completely sucked into editing, mostly because it kept him from watching the clock and counting the minutesĀ ā an unfortunate habit everyone was guilty of at some point. so he was glad to shut all that out, concerned only with the work on the screen in front of him. though of course he could be pulled out of it. the sound of deliās voice had brady looking over his shoulder and then pulling off his headphones, letting them sit around his neck instead.Ā āsup?ā the proposal sounded as good as anything, and brady raised his eyebrows at him.Ā āwow, even gonna buy me dinner first? a true gentleman if iāve ever known one,ā he mused, placing a hand over his heart.Ā āfor real though, yeah, always down. you gonna let meĀ pick the movie this time?ā he emphasized his mock-nagging by crossing his arms over his chest and tilting his head at him.
julie had her legs resting in the empty chair across from her, phone in her hands as she scrolled through the vibez twitter feed. she hadnāt been paying attention to brady tossing the grapes into his mouth until the world record was mentioned, to which she slowly lowered her phone to her lap with a raise of her eyebrows. this was inherently more interesting, because the only thingĀ she was seeing were the occasional āyou guys suckā and āplease rt itās my birthdayā mentions. and since she was fighting the urge to reply back with the instant āno u suckā and birthday-themed songs that were entirely too inappropriate to be on main, this was arguably the more responsible use of her time. ā87? thatās nothing. iāve seen you pound at least 90 of those in one sitting.ā exaggeration? maybe, but who was to say, really. she sat her phone face down on the table, task now forgotten as interest tinted her features. āhand them over.āĀ it was a simple demand as her legs fell to the ground, body in a now upright position as she stretched her hand out towards him.Ā āāhow much air do we need to get for this to count in the big leagues?ā this was clearly an olympic sport, so theyād treat it as such. ālike six feet, or what?āĀ
āitās not how many grapes i can eat in one sitting, itās how many i can catch.ā because he probably couldĀ eat 90 something grapes as a snack, but that wasnāt the point. brady did as she requested, dropping the little baggie of grapes into her outstretched hand.Ā ādunno. donāt think that matters for this. long distance grape catching is like, a whole separate thing.ā the difference between sprinting and track and field with hurdles and shit, if brady had to guess. he backed up a bit, giving a safe throwing distance.Ā āākay. hit me with your best shot.ā
āwill you calm down, itās been like five minutes.ā max wasnāt quite as stressed about his time, mostly because he tended to lose track of it at times, but he knew brady would get even more annoyed than he was already if he lingered behind too much longer. this time it wasnāt even his fault, a co-worker had stopped him on his way out to ask him about the latest project.Ā ā-and i was working.ā max defended lightly into the phone pressed between his ear and shoulder as he stepped out of the building and onto the sidewalk. maxās attention flickered around the area until they settled onto his back.Ā āiāll call you back, iām gonna have to fight this guy real quick.ā he said before he hung up the phone, tucking it into his pocket as he let his board fall to the ground loudly - meant to grab his attention if his words echoing hadnāt already.Ā āwhatās that you were sayinā about making me skate alone?ā he lifted one foot to rest on the board as he rose an eyebrow at him.Ā ānow thatās just harsh.ā maxās words melted into a tease.Ā āhere i thought we were friends.āĀ
āfriends.āĀ the word dripped with sarcasm as he repeated itĀ ā at least, thatās how it felt when he said it, just a hint of a smile as he looked at him. but he was sure his very slight snark was some only max might pick up on. regardless, brady shook his head and followed suit, dropping his board onto the ground as well.Ā ākeep up,ā he said, leaning over to shove maxās shoulder lightly, before stepping onto the board and pushing forward. he could hear max behind him, and of course brady actually wantedĀ him to keep up despite their back and forth, so he kept it slow until they were in line with each other.Ā āsorry to forceĀ you away from your work, but iāve been craving a bagel all fuckinā day. wasnāt gonna let you hold me up any longer.ā all joking aside, though, brady knew how it was to get caught up with the type of work they did.Ā āworkinā on anything good?ā he asked genuinely.
"dude, hurry up,ā brady said into his phone, staring up at the building heād just walked out of. he wasnāt always entirely on top of things, but when it came to his lunch break, he was nothing if not punctual. the job could be pretty high-stress and consistently busyĀ ā of course he liked to soak up every moment of freedom he had before it was time to go back. right now, that meant urging max along, since the blond apparently wanted to take his sweet ass time meeting brady like theyād planned. brady stood holding his skateboard under the arm that wasnāt pressing the phone to his ear, taking comfort in the fact that it was at least a nice day out today.Ā āiām about to just go eat without you. and you can skate your slow ass down the street yourself.ā @maxcameronā
brady prided himself on his many talentsĀ ā one of which happened to be catching grapes in his mouth at a 100% success rate. it was a versatile skill, a perfect boredom cure he could break out pretty much anywhere...as long as he had grapes. and today he did,Ā on top of being bored as hell, so it was game on. he leaned back in his chair and tossed up another one, catching it with no effort, and then straightened back up.Ā āthink i could break the world record for this?ā he asked the person closest to him. a quick google search told him just what that was, and brady leaned back with a sigh.Ā ā87 in under a minute. better start training for real. might need a training partner to throwĀ āem for me so i can focus,ā he added, a hopeful look on his face.
Brady wasnāt sure if the voice behind him was speaking to him in particular. When he finally glanced over his shoulder to see, putting the voice to the face, the realization that it was Hunter standing there confirmed he likely hadnāt been meaning to talk to Brady. Unless his good olā neighbor had suddenly had a change of heart and just wanted to have a little chit chat at work. Though something told Brady that might not be the case.Ā āYou know you can just...get pizza, right? Whenever you want?ā he asked with a raise of his eyebrows, gesturing to the general area around them -- a workplace, full of adults.Ā āYou donāt have to wait for someone to provide it for you.ā He shrugged, tucking his water bottle into his elbow and crossing his arms.Ā āBut by all means, man. GiveĀ āem a piece of your mind. Sure theyāll wanna hear you out.ā
( nick robinson, male, he/him ) have you heard about BRADY WRIGHT? theyāre a 22 year old TEAM MEMBER in the VIDEOGRAPHY team. i donāt know what their last job was, all i know is that theyāre originally from DENVER, CO. carol in hr said that theyāre kinda STUBBORN and DEFENSIVE but jessica in marketing insists that they are CONFIDENT and PROTECTIVE. at the end of the day, no one is worthy of the instant hype here. i just hope they get to achieve their dream of being A DIRECTOR one day. According to the latest Vibez quiz, their Disney soulmate is ALADDIN.
hi!! nicole here, and this is brady! below youāll find some background/bullets abt him, and you can also check out his STATS PAGE for more! i also listed some connections ideas at the bottom, but iād love to discuss anything just based on who the muses are and what would work specifically for them.
im not actually on my laptop rn for opening unfortunately, so i might not immediately see your tumblr messages. feel free to add me on discord (Ā john ambrose mcclaren#1627 ) to message me there for plotting etc.!! otherwise iāll get back to you later. NOW WITHOUT FURTHER ADO:
some background (TW homophobia):
brady is the third child of colonal bradford wright, sr. and isabella wright. his father obviously comes from the military and his mom is one of those stay-at-home military moms/wives with no actual hobbies. theyāre also both from well-off families so, you know. theyĀ got moneyyyy.
the family moved around a lot due to general relocation and living on different military bases and things like that. as a result, brady and his 2 older siblings were all born in a different state. brady himself was born in colorado, where he lived for the first 7 years of his life. since then, heās never lived somewhere longer than 5 years.
because of the lifestyles isabella and the colonel both came from in their own childhoods, and then all of the people the colonel was associated with over the years, brady was raised in an environment where appearance was key. his parents have all these rich friends and each of the children had to appear polite, put together, well-mannered, etc. when they went to their fancy parties. arguments were not well-received, so brady and his siblings learned to be quiet and get through it. it was never much of a choice at all.
the relationship with his parents, and especially his dad, is complicated. theyāre strict, conservative, traditional... all the things brady isnāt. they were never quiet about the political/societal opinions and ensured the kids didnāt form their own. but of course, that was kinda bullshit, and brady and his siblings learned to think what they wanted. but it was complex at home. political debates just didnāt, or really couldnāt, happen. defying authority was simply not toleratedĀ ā and having a father in the military was no joke. so brady didnāt argue. just like when he was a kid, heād gotten good at shutting up and dealing with the terrible things they would say at the dinner table.
needless to say, brady discovering his own bisexuality in his early teens became a closely kept secret; his parentsā extremely conservative views and family trips to church every week made sure of that. now that heās an adult, itās become much less of a secret. if youāre a close friend of bradyās, you probably know that heās bi. but itās not quite something heās shouting from any rooftops anytime soon. as difficult as things have been with his parents over the years, heās just not quite ready for everything that would come along with coming out yet. so being totally out and proud is a work in progress for him atm.
more fun facts/info just about brady!
his full name is actually bradford (heās a jr. named after his dad), but he simply will never tell that to anyone. so thatās brady to you, and always will be.
brady has always been more creative than he was ever truly able to express, so he spent a lot of time in his earlier years with an old camcorder heād been given, messing around and making movies (and forcing his siblings and childhood friends to participate). itās hard to tell for certain when it became the most important thing to him, but at some point brady decided videography was his passion and directing was his dream. so now youād be hard pressed to find brady without his camera.
his sister introduced him to vibez and pushed him to apply as a way to do something he loves and is good at, so... here he is!!!
heās also an artist, but itās more of a hobby. he likes digital art and pencil sketches but also enjoys experimenting with paint.
he loves cryptids/true crime/all things paranormal. he even has a podcast just to talk about stories like that.
he played basketball for a long time when he was young. he thought about continuing with it and improving and at some point had dreams of going pro, but an injury in middle school stopped him from playing altogether, so there went that.
he smokes weed a lot.Ā
he absolutely loves movies and keeps updated lists of his all-time and recent favorites.
he loves harry potter & is a gryffindor. also has a rescued black lab named draco.
he has a tattoo of an alien smoking weed on his arm that his friend gave him in their kitchen once.
heās headstrong, sarcastic, stubborn, cocky, has daddy issues....... what more could you want, really!
we can discuss absolutely anything as far as plotting so hmu and iāll get back to you asap!! im def quicker on discord. looking forward to writing with you all xoxo.
